About this product

Description

Happy homemaker Beverly Sutphin (Kathleen Turner) has a charmed life--a beautiful suburban home, a successful dentist husband (Sam Waterston), and two normal teenagers, Misty (Ricki Lake) and Chip (Matthew Lillard). But she also has a good deal of underlying rage waiting to escape....Just be sure to follow her rules: be polite to your neighbour, always recycle, rewind your videotapes, and never, ever wear white shoes after Labour Day. When one of her son's teachers speaks disparagingly of the boy at a parent-teacher conference, Bev runs the instructor over in the school parking lot. Suddenly she has an insatiable taste for murder. Six homicides later, the cops get wise to her crimes, which are committed with weapons ranging from a leg of lamb to a fireplace poker. A media frenzy ensues, turning an unrepentant Beverly into a media celebrity.A serial-killer comedy mixed with courtroom-drama social satire, the raunchy SERIAL MOM was John Waters' return to R-rated fare after the sweet-natured duo of HAIRSPRAY and CRY-BABY. Suburban life is duly skewered here as the serenity of Beverly's upper-middle-class surroundings are continually sullied by her comedically disturbing acts of violence. Turner appears to relish the opportunity to play such an over-the-top role, and the usual Baltimore-based supporting players make welcome appearances.

I bought this as a present for my mum for mothers day as we have been searching for it for a while now.
The product is in very good condition and works fine. We did however have to change the dvd cover before gifting it however as the previous case was slightly torn, but other than this the condition was perfect.
This product was easy to find on ebay, which after a long time searching was a very big relief.

I bought this DVD because after seeing the film on TV I wanted a copy! Its darkly comedic and kathleen turner being the serial mom is very very funny! I will just mention pussywillow!! I cannot really say there were any aspects I disliked, but definately NOT for children!
